Trust me, I know how that's like. Being a demigod, I'm always feeling antsy. Like I should be fighting or training. Here, there's not much to do that requires that kind of thing and as a result it just feels... dull. I think that's why I see people like Vex or other people I have sex with. If I didn't do something, I'd go batty. But... I want to be loved too, sometimes.

Give him and yourself some time. Not too long, because mortal lives are probably a blink to gods like you, but just... tell him you need a little time to cool your head. Then, refocus your attention somewhere else so you can let go of that anger. Then, when you're ready, you can give him the attention he deserves.

I already explained to him how capricious gods can be. Hopefully he'll remember that.
